1980-89 Performance Archives

The Stoughton High School Norwegian Dancers 1980s Wayback Machine

During the 1980's - music CDs were developed, Madonna launched her first tour, the Berlin Wall came down, the Exxon Valdez had a leak, and Milli Vanilli announced their unique style of performance. And through it all the Stoughton High School Norwegian Dancers danced, toured and kept Norwegian dancing alive. We hope that this page brings back some memories for the many dancers from that decade.
